The main entrance is from George Street into a large narthex with a café/bookstore on one side, classrooms and nursery suite on the other side with access to the chapel, and the entrance to the sanctuary in front. The chapel and the café/bookstore both have direct entrances from the exterior. The chapel will seat 280 people.

 

The sanctuary will seat 2,000 people and has a main floor, rear galleries, and two side galleries that flow up to the balcony. The balcony is also accessed by stairways and an elevator. The balcony has a set of men’s and women’s restrooms on each side. The chancel platform is large and flat to allow for diverse events and functions.
